streets is a mod for Grand Theft Auto IV.
It displays the name of the current street and cross street the player is on, as well as for any target blips on the map.
While the mod is running it will display an overlay in the top right, showing your current location, as well as the location of any target blips.
To build this mod run CMake from the root directory.
To install and run this mod copy the .asi file from the bin/ directory to your GTA IV plugin/ directory.
If you have an asi loader it will automatically load the mod when you launch the game.
Version 1.0.4.0 of Grand Theft Auto IV is required.
This mod works by creating a .dll to be injected when GTA IV is launched. After the .dll is injected it creates a new thread that registers native script functions from GTAIV.exe, and then also hooks onto DirectX 9 to draw an overlay before the scene is rendered.
Once this is completed, streets executes its mainloop and using the scripting interface finds the street names of the players location, and the location of any target blips and displays them on the overlay.
